Match Reports
Luis Suarez was Barcelona's hero as the striker scored twice – including a late winner – to secure a 2-1 Champions League victory over Inter at Camp Nou, with Lionel Messi impressing upon his return from injury.
An Argentinian No.10 was on the scoresheet in only the second minute of the match, but it was not the returning Messi, as Lautaro Martinez got his first ever Champions League goal.
Barca – who were dominated in the first half – took charge after the interval and restored parity through Suarez's fine volley.
The Uruguay striker completed the turnaround six minutes from time with a similarly gorgeous effort after Messi's wonderful run.

2' GOAL! Barcelona 0-1 Inter (Lautaro)
Sanchez with a quick ball in between the Barca defence to Martinez, who manages to hold off the challenge of Lenglet and then slide the ball into the bottom right-hand corner past Ter Stegen, who had no chance of saving that, it was perfectly placed in the corner.
16' CHANCE! Lautaro almost doubles their lead
This time his touch is too heavy as Lautaro rounds Ter Stegen and he just runs out of room to fire the ball into an empty net. Instead he has to try and backheel the ball to a team-mate, but Barca get numbers back and clear the danger.
25' CHANCE! Messi's shot saved
Messi with a low drive from around 25 yards out, but Handanovic reads it well and makes a comfortable save.
27' OFFSIDE! Candreva's goal disallowed
Candreva gets in-behind the Barca defence down the right wing, he then sprints into the box and fires the ball past Ter Stegen at the near post. However, the winger didn't even bother to celebrate as he was well offside.
58' GOAL! Barcelona 1-1 Inter (Suarez)
It's a terrific volley by Suarez after Vidal picks him out with a cross at the far post, just on the edge of the box. The striker turns and drills the ball into the ground, sending it into the far right-hand corner, out of the reach of Handanovic.
60' NICE SHOT! Griezmann's shot into the sidenetting
Gaps are starting to open up at the back for Inter and Griezmann just managed to sneak through, after a quick throughball by Messi and he should square it to Suarez who is open in the six-yard box, but he opts to shoot at goal himself and drills it into the sidenetting.
84' GOAL! Barcelona 2-1 Inter (Suarez)
Superb move by Barca, a quick break forward, with Messi showing great skill to skip past a couple of Inter defenders, before playing it off to Suarez, who just curls the ball into the bottom right-hand corner of the net.
